Blood volume: 1-2 μL
Measuring range: 10 mg/dL – 600 mg/dL
Sample types: Capillary blood. If the test strip is removed from the meter to apply blood: venous blood anticoagulated with lithium heparin or ammonium heparin or EDTA arterial blood and blood from neonates
Sample dosing: Blood application on to the middle of the test pad. The test strip (and its components) has the function to spread the blood above the test area – in a quick and hygienic way
Dosing options: Blood can be applied to both an already inserted test strip, and a tests trip outside the meter. This is helpful to minimize the risk of contamination when a meter has multiple users (e.g. in a hospital) and, in case of AST, to facilitate blood application
Re-dosing capability: Additional blood can be added to the test strip within 10 seconds after applying the first drop (applies for inside mode)
Visual color check: Plausibility check option with 5 color block on the test strip vial
Hematocrit range: 20 – 55 % (within-meter mode) 20 – 70 % (outside-meter mode)
The test strips remain stable at least up to the expiry date printed on the test strip vial, even after opening the test strip container must be closed tightly after each test strip is removed

AccuChek Active strips 50 come in packs of 50 and are used with the Accu-Chek Active blood glucose meter. AccuChek Active strips 50 These strips are designed to accurately measure glucose levels in the blood using a small sample size of blood obtained through a finger prick. Each strip has a gold electrode at one end and a capillary action channel at the other end. When the blood sample is applied to the strip, the glucose in the blood reacts with the enzyme on the test strip, producing an electrical current that is measured by the meter. The result is then displayed on the meter's screen within a few seconds. It is important to follow the instructions carefully when using these test strips to ensure accurate results.
